We are committed to provide our Employees a stable work environment. A key component of providing the highest quality of Customer Service and a stable work environment is low fares. In order to keep our fares low we must keep our costs low. We are, therefore, dedicated to finding ways to lower our costs and increase our productivity and quality. We value suppliers who have the same focus and look internally for ways to improve their processes and service, and willingly pass on cost savings to Southwest Airlines.
